Gas prices continue to be on the climb in Cape May County and the rest of the Garden State. The new gasoline price survey by Mi-Atlantic AAA shows the average price for a gallon of gasoline in our region to be $3.43 a gallon, which is a seven-cent increase over gas prices from one week ago. You are paying 80 cents more for a gallon of gas than you were one year ago. We are still 20 cents below the national average, but only one penny below the state average.
